Walt Disney's vision of the car of the future...in 1958
An excerpt from the 1958 "Disneyland" TV Show episode entitled "Magic Highway USA". In this last part of the show, an exploration into possible future Transportation technologies is made.Coloured detination roads, chassis that warm up for better control in rain and snow and rapid emergengy flying vehicles are some of the themes in the video.
the video also mentions the automatic filling station and car wash system at home, sattelite navigation, automatic pilot videoconference on board and even modular vehicles capable of sperate in smaller and different vehicles. Even trains and containers are revolutionary. even more reolutionary are the vehiclesto build roads and bridges from ceramic material with the help of atomic energy, this is an amazing vision considering that we are talking about 50 years ago
It's hard to believe how little we've accomplished on this front since 1958, and how limited the scope for imagining such future technologies has become. Witness an artifact from a time where the future was greeted with optimism. Note the striking animation style here, achieved with fairly limited animation and spectacular layouts
